V6 Cambelt party - Brackley

[Marks DTM Calib]

They are sold in pairs (the two halves are different), each bag should have two gaskets in them

Ta, thanks for clarification

[Bo Bo]

OK I have the gaskets & O rings  
The guy seemed to know what he was doing, I gave him the part no's & he asked what car & engine & then if I was doing both sides, I said yes & off he went & came back with two gasket packs & 16 O rings.

Double check you have got 4 gaskets - I seem to recall they are sold individually, and 4 required, though an EPC error implies only 2 required...

Yep four gaskets, I opened the packs just to make sure....

He also said that they're not available separately for the really early models any more & that you have to get new covers?

[TheBoy]

OK, I haven't heard any more, so just checking that everyone has got all the bits they need.

The only stuff I have got is a cambelt kit, Aux belt, and antifreeze for MaxV6 (no waterpump yet Max - have you made other arrangements, or shall I try Banbury)

I have 2 or 3 bottles of antifreeze in garage, plenty of oil, some spin on oil filters etc, and 2 or 3 cans of carb cleaner.

Hopefully, everyone else has arranged their parts?  If not, let me know, I may be able to get to a dealers tomorrow.

[AndersH]

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick, do I need antifreeze for a cambelt change?  

[Bo Bo]

Weather forecast has changed slightly, looking like the earlier the better, although still not too bad...

[Bo Bo]

You do if changing the waterpump as well....

[Markjay]

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick, do I need antifreeze for a cambelt change?  

Yes if doing the water pump at the same time... which is highly recommended as it will never be so easy to get it out again...

[TheBoy]

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick, do I need antifreeze for a cambelt change?  

I would recommend a waterpump every other cambelt, so its up to you if you want to change the waterpump. If you do, its around £25 + VAT for waterpump and around £8 + VAT for 'Red' antifreeze at TC prices...
